Terra Cotta Water Saucer - Which Size: 10 or 12 inch?

[Oxalis]

Should I just go with the bigger 12-inch one since I have a 16-sq ft tortoise table? I think it's about 4 inches high, whereas the 10-inch saucer is 2 inches high. Thanks!

My tortoise table so far: http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-80648.html

I would do the 10 inch if it were me. A 4x4 isn't that big for three Russians. Unless they are babies.

If you can go with the larger diameter do it … this will allow for a soaking dish as well. If the rim of your saucer is too tall, simply bury it , while keeping ½” exposed on your surface level or use rock , clay, soil and built a ramp up to the edge of the dish . :shy:

Get both
Not necessary but I give all my torts 2 water dishes

I figure I have the space, so thanks, I'll totally order the larger one! I figured I could just bury it too!!

A nice lil' trick to help keep the water clean ....take some Mexican River Rock or lava rock and once your dish is place , make a surround of rock 4" out from your dish. This will give the torts a "walk off mat" without dragging other substrate debris into your water. * The important thing to remember ....use stone large enough to where your tort will not be attracted to it and try ingesting it .

J~
